A financial crisis swept through, forcing Yan Mo to return home for a blind date. What? Over thirty and still unmarried? Is he a complete straight man? A fake marriage to fool grandpa? Is that some...
Tang Ping, who was still standing at the door, understood, returned to her seat, silently took out a document from her bag and held it in her hand.
When the Yan family saw the contract in Tang Ping's hand, they all frowned slightly. They probably guessed what it was, a prenuptial property agreement. The Si family was so rich, so they could understand why they asked for such a contract, but forcing them to sign it now was too hasty. This capitalist face made people uncomfortable.
They didn't want to covet the Si family's property. The Yan family was not greedy for money. Old Man Mu and Yan Ming didn't care about these things. They were very upright and disdainful of coveting things that did not belong to them, so they didn't say anything.
Since the head of the family didn't say anything, naturally the other members of the Yan family wouldn't have any objections. Mu Wanyue had experienced what happened with Tang Jie, so she was even more open-minded.
Time passed, and soon Yan Mo and Si Ze finished reading the list, and she was stunned.
It took Yan Mo a long time to come back to his senses. He looked at Mr. Si sitting on the sofa drinking tea, then looked at his grandfather, and said uncertainly: "Grandpa, is this too much?"
Although she had no knowledge of the wedding things in Mocheng, she could tell at a glance that the Si family had too much. Not to mention the countless specialties, there were dozens of kinds of tea alone, and hundreds of kinds of seafood, many of which she had never even heard of. There were also coconuts, fruits and so on. There were too many things to list, and the list, which was nearly one meter long, was filled with them all.
Si Ze disagreed. His family had discussed these things with him early in the morning. He always felt that they were too few. If the list was not full, he would have added some more.
Obviously, the old man had the same idea as his grandson. He shook his head and smiled, "Not much. The brat is so much older than you. It's already unfair to you that you can marry him. Naturally, we want to compensate you as much as possible in other aspects."
"These things aren't much. I just discussed it with your parents. I'll give you a house near the harbor for you two to use for your wedding, and a car."
"Car? I don't need the car anymore." Yan Mo waved his hands hurriedly, fearing that they would add the car. He immediately explained, "Si Ze, bought me a car two months ago."
"It's okay to have two more. Just treat them like clothes and change them according to your mood."
The old man suggested this, and perhaps other women would be excited and glad to accept it. However, Yan Mo was thinking differently. She was calculating the monthly cost of the car she currently owned. She was shocked to realize that this car would cost her tens of thousands of yuan a month. If she added a few more cars, she might be bankrupt next month. No, it might be tomorrow. She had no income now, so she couldn't always ask Si Ze for money to maintain the car! He couldn't possibly give her all the household expenses for her personal use.
Yan Mo immediately said against his will:
"I don't like driving very much." As he said that, he pinched Si Ze's thigh lightly, with a strong warning, warning him not to talk nonsense.
"Is that so!" After hearing Yan Mo's words, Mr. Si thought of the fact that Yan Mo was pregnant and it was inconvenient for her to drive. He immediately fell into deep thought.
Seeing that Mr. Si didn't say anything else, Yan Mo breathed a sigh of relief. She picked up the red list on the coffee table and smiled awkwardly at everyone present. Then, she covered her face with the list. When she was sure that no one could see her face, she turned her head and whispered to Si Ze beside her:
"You have so much stuff at home! My house can't hold it all! I can't even finish all the seafood I eat every day!"
Si Ze burst out laughing. This girl is so cute. She still wants to finish so much food. It’s not that he underestimates her. Even if there are ten of her, it will take at least a year for them to finish so much food. Not to mention that she is tired of eating.
"Can it be a little less? Such a huge amount is such a waste of money!" Yan Mo said tentatively.
"No." Si Ze said seriously:
"This is a marriage, this is the betrothal gift, it's all set, how can it be less?"
"oh."
Si Ze reluctantly suggested, "If you can't finish it at home, you can give it to relatives or friends! These things are not worth much."
"That's right!" Yan Mo's eyes lit up instantly. Since it was not expensive, she could give it to others and do favors for them. This was a good idea.
Yan Mo and Si Ze were whispering to each other. Old Master Si also came up with a solution and immediately instructed his wife:
"Then add 2 million to the betrothal gift, bringing the total to 8888, which is an auspicious number."
Before Tang Ping could answer, Yan Mo exclaimed:
"How many?"
Did she hear it wrong? Yan Mo was not new to the world. Tang Jie had spent millions to marry his sister. She thought the Si family was richer than the Tang family, so it was normal for them to spend a few million more.
I'm afraid there's no higher betrothal bonus in Mo City! No, it might be one of the best in the country. It really exceeded her expectations, which is why she lost her composure.
"Grandpa, you guys talk." Yan Mo pulled the corner of his mouth and said to everyone in embarrassment.
After saying that, Yan Mo lowered his head in shame, not daring to look at them. A family like the Si family should be the most particular, and they should not be able to tolerate her making noise in public, right?
She rarely embarrassed herself like this in front of others. It was because she was ignorant and had too little experience.
At this moment, a large handbag gently patted the back of her hand and said comfortingly:
"It's okay, grandpa and the others are not outsiders, don't worry about it."
"Yes! Grandpa and your grandpa have been friends for many years. It's not a big deal. It's nothing serious." Mr. Si agreed indifferently.
Seeing this, Tang Ping also comforted softly:
"Momo, you don't have to feel restrained when you're with us. It's like being at home. Do whatever makes you feel comfortable. Just be careful outside. If you don't mind, you can come to our old house more often when you have time. I'll teach you."
Yan Mo was very touched by the Si family's kindness and tolerance towards her:
"Okay, thanks mom, I'll come."
"Good, good, good." Mr. Si said three good words in a row:
"I finally have someone to accompany me from now on."
Yan Mo's call of "Mom" made everyone very happy, even Tang Ping's lips curled up slightly.
The Yan family was naturally happy too. If they had just seen Tang Ping take out the proof of pre-marital property, they would have felt a little uncomfortable, but now it was really gone.
They could see that the Si family really wanted to take Yan Mo with them, otherwise, how could they do this? Nowadays, many wealthy families don't spend a penny to marry a wife, and just because of their status, many women will pay for them.
What else could they complain about? What Tang Ping did next made the Yan family feel ashamed. They were completely judging others by their own standards.
